Trucks and movers lined the Riverview Condo Complex Thursday – days after residents of the eight-story building were reportedly told they needed to be out by December.
The property manager, Thayer & Associates, Inc., told Boston 25 Thursday that engineers found structural deficiencies this October that dated back to the 1960s when it was built.
The company claims sub-standard concrete and improper placement of reinforcing steel were recently discovered during roofing renovations at the luxury condo complex. They will begin their renovation project to address the newly discovered conditions in late 2024 – fearing an “overloaded” living environment.
They are now asking residents to orderly evacuate their homes before the project.
Many family members and friends of residents were on hand Thursday to help move their loved ones out.
“It’s really stressful,” said Linda, a friend of one of the residents. “I would go nuts… I think it’s really a matter of not knowing their instruction, and not getting clear information.”
